"A Silver-Lining View of George Bush's Not Attending Military Funerals, Lest He Become Associated With Bad News"

From December 1, 2003

At least there's no Bush eulogy
On why they had to die.
It's better that they're laid to rest
Without another lie.

2. It has some devastating stuff throughout.

I am just getting around to it, and I have shed quite a few tears...did not expect that.

The Kurds are in the Way Again

The Kurds are in the way again,
And so to our dismay again,
If we begin a fray again,
And so it appears we may again,
It seems we must betray again
The Kurds: They're in the way again.

It is a powerful little book. Poignant, and it spares no one.
